How Can I Reduce or Eliminate Age Spots?

If you spend a significant amount of time in the sun, you’re prone to developing age spots, regardless of how old you are. These dark spots usually appear on your hands, face, shoulders and arms. Although true age spots are completely harmless, they can obviously affect your appearance in a way you may not love.

Trying to cover up age spots with traditional cosmetics can be quite tricky. It takes a great deal of technique to properly blend colors that will camouflage your spots. That’s why we recommend permanent makeup! We mix a variety of shades to help you find the perfect color for your skin tone, applying the perfect pigment to dramatically reduce the prominence of age spots. Aside from great coverage results, permanent makeup has other benefits, including:

Less invasive than other methods such as grinding, lasers and acids

Solutions are customized for each client’s unique skin tone

Doesn’t break the structure of your skin

Saves you money on buying various shades of traditional cosmetics

Saves you time trying to mix colors that will cover your age spots

We apply these cosmetic tattoos in Monterey, CA utilizing a similar process to microblading and can customize pattern, size and color to make sure you get the exact look you want. Ultimately, our goal is to make you feel comfortable in your own skin. Take a look at some of the many reasons people are choosing freckle tattoos:

What is Scar Camouflage?

Scar camouflage uses permanent makeup to help conceal or soften the effects of scarring or skin pigment discoloration. We carefully look at the tones in the skin surrounding your scar and blend pigments to camouflage it. Over time, the change in pigmentation becomes less and less noticeable, fading your scar’s prominence and restoring your self-esteem!

This scar treatment in Monterey, CA can also be used for other situations involving depigmentation, such as medical procedures, burns, skin diseases and accidents. We offer this treatment for many different types of scars and skin issues and typically see best results from the following criteria:

Your scar is at least 12 months old and the color is stable

Can Permanent Makeup be Removed?

Yes, despite its name, permanent makeup can be removed! Removal is sometimes necessary if it has been poorly applied previously, a new look is preferred or you’re looking to go back to a “blank slate.” Our non-surgical color removal is performed by an experienced professional and in as little as one session, you’ll start to see a difference right away.

Not all colors are removed at the same rate or with the same outcome. Gray and black remove the best, especially on fair-to-medium untanned skin. Darker browns will also typically do well. Lighter inks like white and flash tone tend to darken and may not remove as well.

What is Areola Repigmentation?

Areola repigmentation is a personal, sensitive option that improves the self-confidence of both women and men who have undergone breast surgery. Areola repigmentation techniques “create” an areola after breast reconstruction, minimizing the appearance of scars or restoring an areola to a more natural-looking color and shape. This permanent process is one we approach with the utmost sensitivity and privacy, ensuring you’re totally comfortable with the procedure.
